"Apparatus and method for developing auditory discrimination through the transmission of visual estu00ecmulos".The present invention relates to an apparatus for developing auditory discrimination through the transmission of visual stimuli.Such apparatus comprises a support (2), three formations of visual indicators (3, 4, 5) which is fixed to the support (2), a set of images.And at least one driving device for actuating the visual indicators (3, 4a, 4b, 5A, 5b, 5C) of the formations of the visual indicators (3, 4, 5).Each image of the set of images represents a word with a specified number of syllables, as well as each training indicators (3, 4)5) represents a word with a specified number of syllables.Each of the visual indicators (3, 4a, 4b, 5A, 5b, 5C) of each formation of indicators (3, 4, 5) represents a syllable of the word represented.So that the activation of these indicators determines the pace at which the word represented must be pronounced by the person with hearing loss.The present invention also provides a method for developing auditory discrimination through the transmission of visual stimuli comprising the steps of display for an individual with deficiu00eanCLA hearing an image corresponding to a word having a specific number of syllables; pronounce the word corresponding to the displayed image; and providing a visual indication corresponding to CaThe syllable of the word pronounced. Such a visual indication will determine the pace at which the auditory handicapped shall pronounce the word corresponding to the displayed image.
